    There are actually four envelope types. The bandwidth one in SubSynth has identical controls to the frequency envelope.
    </p>
    <p>
    <ul>
    <li>
    <b>A.val</b> Attack start value (not amplitude).
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>A.dt</b> Attack time.
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>D.val</b> Decay target value (filter only).
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>D.dt</b> Decay time (not frequency or bandwidth).
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>R.dt</b> Release time.
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>R.val</b> Release target value (not amplitude).
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>Stretch</b> Anticlockwise envelope is shorter on lower pitch notes and vice-versa.
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>L</b> Linear (amplitude only).
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>frcR</b> Forced release (goes to release phase as soon as key is lifted).
    </li>
    </ul>
    The 'E' button opens the graphical window showing the overall envelope shape, where it is then possible to set <em>freemode</em>.

    <h3>Freemode</h3>
    <p>
    This window shows a <em>freemode</em> enabled envelope. This is where all the normal controls have been assigned to fully editable target points. Not only that, but you can add points up to a maximum of 40. This allows you to develop extremely detailed and expressive envelopes.
    <br>
    The yellow vertical is the sustain/release point, and you can have new points both sides of it.
    <ul>
    <li>
    <b>Freemode</b> Enables or disable freemode behaviour.
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>Add point</b> Creates a new point before the highlighted one (there must be one highlighted).
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>Delete point</b> Removes the highlighted point. There is a minimum of 3.
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>Sust</b> (sustain) The point that is to be regarded as the sustain point. Zero gives no sustain.
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>Str</b> (stretch)
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>L</b> (linear)
    </li>
    <li>
    <b>fcR</b> (forced release)
    </li>
    </ul>
